> Revive

Characters:

romcomedian
Setting: Hallway
Format: Action
Summary: Vriska revives like all true God Tiers do. In a fruity, rainbow fashion.
Warnings: ...Probably language.

[A blue wing twitches to life, followed by the other. The body they're attached to lifts up, dripping cerulean blood on the flooring before the color begins to change. And some strange auras begin to rise up from the corpse. First red, then blue again, and then the colors cycle into a rainbow. And well, is that sparkling in the blood? It might as well be a canopy of stars all up in there.

Basically, it looks like this going down in the middle of the hallway. The spectacle goes on for what seems like forever, but in reality it's more like ten or so minutes.

God Tiers revive in style.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Karkat's seen just about everything worth seeing at this point, as far as he's concerned.

That is, until he spots Vriska on the ground, dead and twitching in some really weird fucking god tier outfit. Not that he hadn't seen Vriska in god tier before. This was just...different. Different colors, different wings, different everything.

Is it even Vriska? He can see blood, more cerulean blood like his...hadn't Terezi mentioned it being her shade? The horns look like her's too.

But suddenly it doesn't matter BECAUSE SHE'S FUCKING SPARKLING?????]

What the fuck--

[And Karkat is now flattened against the wall, staring in awe and slight uncertainty. Is she reviving? Or is this some other trick of the castle?]

[It seems to go on for a few minutes before her body rights itself and her feet touch ground. The glowing and sparkling and rainbows subside. Any traces of blood on her have vanished, and she cracks her eyes open.

Her stance immediately changes into one ready to fight as she glares around for that stupid phantom spidermom. Like hell she was just going to let getting killed go so easily. Stupid phantoms and stupid Tavros.

But instead of seeing a phantom, she sees- Karkat?]

Quit gawking, Vantas. It's unbecoming, even for you.

[Taken completely and utterly by surprise -- he's so used to his Vriska that being ordered around by her changes his expression completely.

He's positively scandalized. And then, of course...comes the flip out.]

Shut your fucking chute before I staple it shut for you, Serket. What the hell happened to you?

[Keeping his distance, because something is Not Quite Right.]

Ohhhhhhhh, I'm so scared of threats coming from you.

[Rolling her eyes. She's walking towards him though, because something seems off. She doesn't remember him having different clothes.]

What the hell does it look like, nookstain? I'm sure even you with your limited thinkpan could make an educated guess.

[This is so weird. He's side-eying her really hard.]

I've seen nothing but fucking phantoms and weird time shit since I got here, I don't know what the fuck to think anymore.

Pretty fucking sure I'm seeing more of it right now.

[...is that eightfold, DOES SHE REALLY HAVE EIGHTFOLD? Both of his eyes are narrowing now.]

[She notices that Eightfold pretty quickly once she's closer, and she frowns.]

You have my Eightfold. Why.

You mean you have my Eightfold.

Bullshit.

As if I would believe that. Next you'll be telling me you're a blue blood.

Well, I don't really have to tell you, since you just said it.

[Deadeying you so hard, Vriska.]

You're joking.

[She is so not amused right now. She recalls that weird kid making a list of trolls with different blood colors. And Canada kept talking about stupid swaps like that was actually a thing that could happen.]

I knew you were ashamed of your blood, but this is just dumb.

You know what's equally dumb?

You thinking I'm lying.

So what, do you have my God Tier too? Did the guys in charge of this place think it fitting to give a mutant blood some actual class?

I can't really blame them for picking my traits.

[Rage building. Jealousy building higher. HOW DARE SHE???

The only indication that anything is coming is a twitch of his eye. Then a punch is aimed right at her collar to knock some wind out of her and maybe knock her over.

It's not a very strong punch beyond that, though.]

[WHAT THE SHIT. She stumbles back a couple of steps, eyes narrowing. Oh no, you did not just punch her???]

Are you seriously trying to pick a fight with me, Vantas? You do realize that's the stupidest idea you've ever had right?

[Lunging at him and swinging a punch. That's right, two can play at this game.]

[HE DID but he takes the punch right in the face and reels, trying to shove her back before she can manage to tackle or pin him with the momentum, baring his teeth.]

Don't fucking talk down to me, Serket.

[She shakes her hand out, poised to attack again.]

Or whaaaaaaaat? What are you going to do? Attack me again? Face the facts, Karkat. You were never cut out for a serious fight.

[Yes, that's exactly what he's gonna do. He's gonna take a step forward and shove her again.]

You don't fucking know me! Don't talk like you do.

[He's shaking a little from anger, because he has nothing to do with it. Why is he so angry??? He doesn't usually have this problem.]

[Shoving, really? What are they, kids? ...Whatever. This is child's play.]

Oh, right, it's not like I didn't play an entire game with you where I had to listen to your bitching and whining about leadership. Sure, I don't know you at all.

[Aiming her elbow at his gut.]

[The wind is knocked out of him briefly and he's forced to double over for a second before he reaches out to blindly scratch at her arm.]

You--didn't. You played half the game dead because you were an idiot!

[This isn't even worth her attention to continue fighting. It's almost as pathetic as fighting Tavros.]

What the hell are you going on about? Sure, I died and went God Tier. Hardly the decision of an idiot.

[Rubbing his jaw from her earlier punch -- oh look, there's a bit of blue on his lip.]

Yeah, after Jack stabbed you in the back.

But I already went over this. There's time shenanigans in play here.

[She notices that blue. He was actually telling the truth? What the hell.]

You're totally wrong about how it went down, dumbass. Aradia killed me, effectively completing the circle of revenge or whatever.

So what, you're some lame alternate timeline?

Wow cool, so you got killed by a troll instead of an almighty god. Really helping your argument there, Serket.

But other than that, you're mostly right.

Better than being stabbed in the back. That's a cowardly way to die. At least I put up a fight. [Okay, she didn't, but we don't talk about that. Besides, it's not like this guy could know.]

The point is, I died and became God Tier and the rest of the game was a breeze thanks to my skill.

Terezi told me she killed you.

[It's not an accusation -- it's more of a question that he doubts the answer to.]
